Although there are advanced means of transportation such as magic cars in this world, the mainstream means of transportation circulating between various countries is still horse-drawn carriages.
The reason is very simple. Mana cars require mana energy for supply. This supply requires local technology that can at least accurately bind the flow of mana energy. Therefore, if you choose to drive a mana car around the world, you will leave Magnum, Tarik or Yingnan, all the powerful magic powers, broke down in one day, and finally chose a horse-drawn carriage to pull a magic car.
I have my own horse-drawn magic chariot in the Qing Dynasty.jpg There is no way. The premise of the magic chariot is magic energy. After all, except for the radiance crystal, there is no technology in this world that can store huge amounts of magic energy in a very small container. That thing Not scientific at all.
Therefore, even high-ranking legionnaires from the empire like Zhou Li and Tiya could only choose carriages to travel.
Of course, Evan actually arranged for an airship at first, but later because this trip was considered a private matter and Zhou Li was afraid of heights, he did not choose the fast airship.
Yes, Zhou Li is afraid of heights.
"Stop laughing!" On the carriage, Zhou Li slapped the table in front of him angrily, and said angrily: "You have been laughing since the airport, and you are still laughing, still laughing!"
"Ahem." Tiya coughed twice, her heroic and soft cheeks were filled with an unstoppable smile, she lowered her head slightly, her voice was a little weird,
"I just...remembered something funny, and I wasn't laughing at you."
"You've been laughing all the time but I haven't heard of you." Zhou Li complained to Tiya in front of him with a face full of embarrassment: "Everyone has their own weaknesses. I'm just afraid of heights. What can I do? I was afraid of growing up when I was a child. It's the same thing, my hands and feet are cold when I stand on it, my blood is blocked, what can I do?"
"Yes, yes, it's okay, it's okay...Pfft. When I think of the young man who lives indifferently on weekdays and doesn't show any fear even when faced with the threat of evil spirits, he will be so scared that he hides behind himself in the spacious and bright airport, like a Like a homeless kitten, Tiya couldn't help but squint her eyes and look at Zhou Li with a smile.
"Eluma, take care of her!" Kui Zhouli turned his head with a look of sorrow and anger, and then he met the eyes of Eluma, whose face was red and had been suppressing laughter.
···Zhou Li huddled in the corner and said nothing, as if a layer of dark clouds were surrounding him, which was very depressing.
He stared at the table on the carriage with a numb look on his face.
"It's okay..." Seeing Zhou Li's appearance, Tiya couldn't help but stretched out her hand and pulled Zhou Li's face, and said with a smile: "Everyone has something they are afraid of, it's okay."
"What the hell is your sudden big sister mode of knowing and doing?" Zhou Li patted Tiya's hand and said angrily: "Fear of heights is a physiological phenomenon, you know, it's not whether I'm afraid or not."
"Okay, okay, physiological phenomenon." Tiya smiled, then she looked at Eluma aside and asked: "Eluma, did you bring that thing?"
"Huh?" Eluma was stunned for a moment, and then she seemed to know what Tia was talking about. She nodded and took out a small cloth bag from her backpack.
The small cloth bag was square and seemed to be something like a stack of paper. After opening the bag and pouring it on the table, a brand new stack of poker cards appeared in front of the three of them.
"Ah?" Zhou Li looked at the familiar Yao Ji poker on the table, and his brain suddenly shut down. Then he picked up the poker in front of him in a panic and asked Eluma beside him: "Where did you get this? of?"
"I bought it at Mosk No. 1 Department Store." Tiya, who was opposite Kui, said with some confusion: "Isn't this Chang'an brand very common?"
"Chang'an Card?" Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, while Tiya in front of him tilted his head and said matter-of-factly: "Yes, Chang'an Card, a tabletop game developed by Master Chonghuang, is very interesting. Tariq has always been This card game is very popular." Chonghuang... After hearing the name, Zhou Li quickly searched for the name Chonghuang in his mind.
Soon, he remembered that he had seen in a world encyclopedia that Emperor Chong was the brave man from the previous generation who rescued the world from the void, named Zhou Changan.
It seems that his senior may also be a fellow countryman... Looking at the cards in his hand, Zhou Li couldn't help but smile when he understood what was going on.
After all, if you can see something similar to the earth in this world, you will definitely feel a sense of intimacy in it.
餔
"By the way, do you know about the Chonghuang Armor?" At this time, Tiya seemed to remember something and said with interest: "I heard that the Chonghuang Armor was buried in the natural forest of Muqi, but after a few hundred No one has excavated it for years. Zhou Li, do you think that if you go to that forest as a brave man, will you be recognized by Chonghuang Armor?"
"Chonghuang Armor?
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously: "What is Chonghuang Armor?" "
"Oh, yes, you don't know much about this." Tiya clapped her hands together, attracting Eluma's attention. Then like a little teacher, she folded her arms and said, "The so-called Chonghuang Armor , is the artifact left behind by the previous hero Zhou Changan. According to historical records, hundreds of brilliant-level heroic souls are preserved in Chonghuang Armor, and their heroic souls can be released to fight the enemy at any time. In the Battle of the Void that year , if it weren’t for the existence of Chonghuang Armor, humans might not be able to counterattack so quickly.”
"Hundreds of divine gifts..." Kui Zhouli was immediately stunned when he heard this number. You must know that divine gifts and professionals are actually two kinds of creatures. As powerful divine gifts, their power is not only Just by simply releasing and contracting, they can already modify the rules at a certain level.
Therefore, if it is really a gift from hundreds of gods, then the value of this set of armor can be said to be more terrifying than that of a country.
"Of course, that was in the past." Tiya smiled and said with emotion: "The energy of Chonghuang Armor has been exhausted in that battle. Even if it is dug out now, the heroes the armor can control are only platinum. Or dazzling, so this armor is only a piece of dazzling level equipment.”
"Can't the energy be replenished?" Zhou Li was a little puzzled. After all, a magic equipment should be able to replenish energy according to common sense. With such an existence that can be compared to a strategic-level weapon, how could other countries not study how to replenish it? What about energy?
"One is that this set of armor has disappeared for many years, and everyone once thought that the Chonghuang Armor was just a rumor in Muqi. The other reason is that the energy consumed by this armor is clearly recorded." After a pause, Tiya He said with respect: "The energy needed for Chonghuang Armor is the souls of those heroic spirits." So that's what happened... Zhou Li suddenly understood, but he couldn't help but feel high respect for those heroic spirits who still protect mankind even if they die. of respect.
Soon, they returned from Chonghuang Armor to the right side of the playing cards. It only took a while for Zhou Li to show them the value of winning money at home during the holidays.
About two or three hours later, with the blessing of the dragon blood horse, the group arrived at the border of Muqi. At this moment, diplomat Muqi, who had been waiting at the border for a long time, appeared in front of everyone.
"Hello everyone, I am the diplomat this time. You can call me Talis. For the next journey, please take the carriage sent by our country. Please rest assured that this is just a little kindness and courtesy from us." A tall and tall figure , a handsome man appeared in front of everyone.
This man has long blue hair. The elemental stone pendant hanging on the diplomat's robe shows his identity as an elemental mage, and he is most likely an elemental mage of the water element.
But for some unknown reason, the diplomat had a light bruise on his right eye, the kind that results from long-term illness.
Is there a risk of being beaten as a diplomat in Muqi? Although Zhou Li and his party were a little confused, they did not ask. After all, it might seem a little impolite.
They quickly moved from the long-distance carriage to the more spacious and comfortable state carriage. At this time, Zhou Li and the three of them were sitting side by side, and opposite them was the diplomat who was gradually turning into a fish-eye.
餔
"Um... Next, I will introduce Tariq's customs to you." He scratched his long, fluffy blue hair. After a brief silence, the water element magician slowly said: "Wooden Qi, this country does not have much etiquette and etiquette. Apart from the standard handshake, Muqi only has one etiquette that praises nature." Talis thought for a while, then skillfully drew a semicircle on his chest and demonstrated it to everyone. "This is the standard gesture of praising nature, you can remember it." After recording this simple and clear etiquette, Zhou Li asked: "When is this etiquette generally used?" After hearing this question, Tallis seemed to have expected that the other party would ask this question, and a touch of embarrassment and helplessness appeared on his face. Then he scratched his hair and said: "The etiquette of praising nature is usually used in various embarrassing situations. "
"Ah?" Confused expressions appeared on everyone's faces. They never expected that the other party's answer would be like this.
餔
"The most embarrassing thing is to explain to others why you make such a gesture when you are embarrassed." Tallis rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. After a moment, he said with a slight hesitation: "It's just like, haha?" Looking at everyone's faces With a more profound expression of confusion, Tallis took a long breath and continued to explain quickly: "Let me give you an example. It's like you go home one day and your mother suddenly asks you if you have found a lover. You are embarrassed. It's nothing. It's easy to say, you can use this etiquette to skip this topic at this time.
"Oh, it's similar to the saying "goodness is good" in Buddhism, right?" Zhou Li suddenly realized and said: "In the future, you and Muqi's guy will have nothing to talk about, so just make this gesture and the other person will be polite. Retreat, I won’t continue to embarrass you.”
"That's it." Talis nodded, fully agreeing with Zhou Li's statement. Then he thought of something and quickly reminded: "By the way, although Mu Qi doesn't have anything particularly taboo, there is one thing you must pay attention to."
"Don't cut down trees." Quantalis said to everyone very seriously: "No matter when and where, never cut down trees, especially saplings."
"Ah?" At this time, Eluma, who was gradually becoming a complainer, asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
"Actually, we don't know either." Talis shrugged, but still looked serious: "We have been observing this custom since five hundred years ago, and this custom has been passed down since the birth of this country. Although we I don’t know why, but this is the most taboo point in Muqi. Once trees are cut down, Muqi’s survey team will immediately appear and take people away, so be careful!”
"Don't worry, we didn't rush all the way here just to chop down trees." Tiya waved her hands, and then asked: "By the way, are explorers still allowed to enter the natural forest now?"
"Ah... this..." Tallis didn't know how to answer for a while. Then he took out a pamphlet after saying sorry and started flipping through it. After a while, he lifted At first, he said with a confident face: "Yes, but I'm not sure." Are you not sure why you are so sure?
Zhou Li and the others suddenly felt speechless, while Zhou Li vaguely sensed the other party's fish-fishing spirit and desire to show off in his bones.
He didn't embarrass the other party, but Tia's words asked another question.
"Then when can we go to Victor City?"
"Oh, by the way, you are here to solve the space node." Tallis knocked on his head, and then complained,
"Those Magnums cut off all our supply of mana last year, and now our parsers can't be used at all. It's really troublesome." After Kui complained about the neighboring country, Tallis thought After thinking for a while, he said to the three of them: "If you want to go to Victor earlier, we can go now. Although Mr. Muqi wants to see you, he is not in a hurry. He has specifically ordered me before, everyone. You can do what you want with your time.”
"Okay." Zhou Li nodded. He was not polite and said directly to Talis: "Then let's go directly to Victor first. This kind of thing should be done and finished as soon as possible."
"No problem." Talis admired Zhou Li's resolute character. He nodded, and then gave a few instructions to the driver outside the carriage. Soon, the carriage drove to another road.
[They are coming] Standing on the top of the tree, there is no emotion in the scarlet eyes like ruby. The girl's naked feet are stepping on a green leaf, and the whole person is frozen in place as if there is no weight.
餔
"Is this your arrangement?" She raised her head, looked at the sky, and asked calmly: "Did you let him come here?" [No, I am just the goddess of life, I cannot control fate]
